    I'm in! I gained back 10 lbs in the last 2 months. Most likely from all the wine and snack foods during the summer. The only liquid calories I will be drinking is the few I get from Crystal Light. I weigh in on Saturdays so my dates will also be a little off.
    Sept 29th weight - 169

    Sounds terrific to me! The exception may be a graduation celebratory beverage (bad not only due to liqour, but the diet soda's aspt--my known vice is the Diet Coke), but I am in and will pass this along to friends!! Pure H2O is our great friend!! =0)

    I had decided to do this before I saw this thread. The alcohol was really hindering my weight loss.

    Do I sound really boring, every month is sober, don't drink alcohol at all, did drink lots of diet cola etc but have even managed to give that up since joining MFP. I even gave up chocolate, darn, pick something I can give up so I can join in???

    OK, I'm in. Since joing MFP, it's become painfully obvious how drinking certain things, namely alcohol, iced coffee, frapuccino, etc., can totally negate all of the hard work I put in. I've wanted to cut down, so here we go!

    Week 1 - 164 lbs.

    I'll try to cut back a little. Good enough?

    Wow, what a fantastic group! We've got a huge range of ages, diets, hometowns... this is going to be awesome!

    I hope day 1 was an unabashed success - I'm already seriously proud of you. If you would like to be on the group tracker, please post your weight here, or message me with it if that's more comfortable for you. If you like tracking on your own, of course that's great too!

    I seem to have run up against a friending limit, so if anyone wants to add me, or others in the group, the best way to meet our goals is with support, so feel free!

    Hey there! I am so up for this as well. I have a binge-drinking pizza-ordering housemate and I'm constantly facing temptation... having the moral fortitude of you guys will be a huge help. I'm in!

    I need to do this - I'm in starting right this moment. Coffee, water, ice tea (unsweetened), and the occasional diet soda only. NO ALCOHOL.

    This weekend, I am kid-free, errand free, chore free, job free. Normally, my best friend and I would go to the bar, shoot some pool, and have a couple drinks.

    I'm opting to go for a night jog instead. =]

    AW YEAH HEALTHY CHOICES YEAH
